The Generic information has been developed to address quality of life issues some or all of which may be relevant to offer at different stages of the cancer journey.

Information should also be offered from the appropriate tumour specific pathway and, when appropriate, the cross tumour pathways for chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Reference should be made to the Network Directory of Cancer Services, and relevant print-outs offered to those without internet access.

There is a resource availble for staff dealing with people with learning difficulties.
